← Dual IRL Tools

What's new

The running list of changes to the Dual IRL viewer-count widget. Newest first.

Beta

2026-09-10

  • Changed Site tools: every builder's preview now sits above the fold and shows synthetic sample data instantly (before any channel/location is configured), switching to live data with a visible mode indicator once configured (0.1.454)

Public Release

2026-08-13

  • Fixed Rumble-based site widgets (chat, stats, viewer count) failed to load any data due to a browser CORS restriction on Rumble's API; they now go through a new server-side proxy. (0.1.399)

2026-08-12

  • Fixed literal Unicode emoji in the merged-chat overlay (messages and events), the weather overlay's condition/wind icons, the platform-stats widget's uptime/warning/Rumble-sentiment icons, and the viewer-count widget's warning icon now render as images instead of a missing-glyph box on a Linux OBS/CEF browser source with no installed emoji font. (0.1.399)

2026-08-10

  • Added every shared Dual IRL link now shows a branded preview image (Twitter/X, Discord, Slack, etc.) instead of a text-only preview. (0.1.399)
  • Changed every site tool, builder, and the privacy policy page now has a consistent page title and social-share (OG) preview matching the rest of the site. (0.1.398)
  • Added Twitch chat badges now render as real per-channel images (subscriber tiers, VIP, moderator, etc.) instead of plain text chips, in chat.html and both apps' chat overlays; stats.html/viewer-count.html's Twitch tile no longer depends on the third-party DecAPI proxy. (0.1.392)

2026-08-07

  • Added the viewer-count widget's platform/channel name can now be toggled on/off (on by default), including in the new Compact layout, which previously never showed it at all. (0.1.381)
  • Added a new "Compact" layout for the viewer-count widget shows all configured platforms in a single bar (icon, count, and a small peak/average pair per platform), recreating the classic kicktools multi-platform look. (0.1.381)
  • Added the platform-stats and viewer-count overlays now support anchoring to a corner/edge of the browser-source view (pos), matching the weather and location-tracker overlays, configurable from each tool's own builder page. (0.1.381)
  • Added a new viewer-count overlay tool at dualirl.com/tools/viewer-count showing current count, a trend arrow, and session peak/average per platform (Kick/Twitch/Rumble), with a builder for platform order/layout/font. (0.1.381)
